Deli­vers First Public Demons­tra­ti­ons of Upco­ming Ryzen and “Vega”-based Pro­ducts

Glo­bal OEM and Hard­ware Part­ners Show­ca­se Ryzen Pro­ces­sor-Rea­dy Eco­sys­tem

TAIPEI, Tai­wan — May 31, 2017 COMPUTEX TAIPEI 2017 — Com­me­mo­ra­ting 30 years in Tai­wan, AMD (NASDAQ: AMD) today show­ca­sed the power of its upco­ming Ryzen™ and Rade­on™ pro­ducts during its press con­fe­rence at COMPUTEX TAIPEI 2017. The com­pa­ny deli­ver­ed a series of never-befo­re-seen pro­duct demons­tra­ti­ons, show­ed new Ryzen pro­ces­sor-based high-end gam­ing sys­tems from top glo­bal OEMs, and announ­ced launch time­lines for seve­ral of its upco­ming dat­a­cen­ter, pro­sumer, and con­su­mer products.

 “We cele­bra­te 30 years of AMD in Tai­wan at Com­putex this year with gre­at momen­tum around our new high-per­for­mance com­pu­ting and gra­phics pro­ducts,” said AMD Pre­si­dent and CEO Dr. Lisa Su. “At Com­putex we high­ligh­ted the next wave of AMD pro­ducts that will come to mar­ket, inclu­ding our upco­ming EPYC fami­ly of pro­ces­sors for dat­a­cen­ters, high-end Rade­on ‘Vega’-based gra­phics cards, and new AMD Ryzen Thre­ad­rip­per and Ryzen mobi­le pro­ces­sors. We were thril­led to be joi­n­ed by cus­to­mers and part­ners inclu­ding Acer, Asus, Dell, HP and Leno­vo to show­ca­se their latest AMD Ryzen-powered PCs.”

EPYC Launch

At Com­putex 2017, AMD announ­ced the world­wi­de launch date for EPYC™, the new AMD fami­ly of high-per­for­mance pro­ces­sors for cloud-based and tra­di­tio­nal on-pre­mi­se dat­a­cen­ters, pre­vious­ly code­na­med Nap­les, which will deli­ver the high­ly-suc­cessful “Zen” x86 pro­ces­sing engi­ne sca­ling up to 32 phy­si­cal cores. The first EPYC pro­ces­sor-based ser­vers are sche­du­led to launch on June 20th 2017, with wide­spread sup­port expec­ted from ori­gi­nal equip­ment manu­fac­tu­r­ers (OEMs) and chan­nel part­ners, ushe­ring in a new era for high-per­for­mance ser­ver pro­ces­sors and the dat­a­cen­ter. With its high core count, supe­ri­or memo­ry band­width, and unpar­al­le­led sup­port for high-speed input/output (I/O) chan­nels in a sin­gle chip, EPYC aims to revo­lu­tio­ni­ze the dual-socket ser­ver mar­ket while simul­ta­neous­ly res­ha­ping expec­ta­ti­ons for sin­gle-socket servers.

Ryzen Momen­tum

Fol­lo­wing the recent laun­ches of seven AMD Ryzen desk­top pro­ces­sors, inclu­ding AMD Ryzen™ 7 and AMD Ryzen™ 5, desi­gned to bring inno­va­ti­on and com­pe­ti­ti­on back to the full spec­trum of pre­mi­um PC mar­kets, AMD out­lined con­tin­ued momen­tum for Ryzen. Buil­ding on the Ryzen chan­nel foun­da­ti­on, AMD announ­ced that all of the top glo­bal PC OEMs expect to have Ryzen-based designs in the mar­ket by end of Q2 2017, giving con­su­mers a wide ran­ge of pre­mi­um and gam­ing towers, and all-in-ones, powered by Ryzen 7 and Ryzen 5 desk­top pro­ces­sors. The Ryzen-powered Windows®-based sys­tems from Acer, Asus, Dell and Leno­vo on dis­play at Com­putex 2017 include:

Announ­cing the Acer Aspi­re GX-281 desk­top with AMD Ryzen™ pro­ces­sors in late April, we are proud to be on the fore­front of AMD’s new tech­no­lo­gy,” said Jer­ry Kao, pre­si­dent of IT Pro­ducts Busi­ness at Acer. “We look for­ward to con­ti­nuing our part­ner­ship with AMD to bring more exci­ting pro­ducts to the mar­ket together.”

 “ASUS Repu­blic of Gamers (ROG) is dedi­ca­ted to deli­ve­ring the most inno­va­ti­ve hard­core hard­ware for tru­ly dedi­ca­ted gamers,” said the Chief Ope­ra­ting Offi­cer of ASUS, S.Y. Shi­an. “We are exci­ted to announ­ce our brand new powerful ROG mobi­le plat­form – the Strix GL702ZC. This sys­tem, equip­ped with AMD’s latest 8‑core Ryzen™ pro­ces­sor and an AMD Rade­on™ RX580 GPU, is the first ROG pro­duct that we’ve desi­gned around AMD and it is a gam­ing powerhouse.

Dell is exci­ted to imple­ment AMD Ryzen™ solu­ti­ons in our new Dell Ins­pi­ron Gam­ing Desk­top and Com­putex d&i award win­ner, the Ins­pi­ron 27 7000 AIO,” said Ray Wah, seni­or vice pre­si­dent and gene­ral mana­ger, Dell Con­su­mer and Small Busi­ness Pro­duct Group. “Dell is com­mit­ted to pro­vi­ding the best Rea­dy for VR and PC Gam­ing solu­ti­ons for all bud­gets and levels of play; AMD’s Ryzen™ pro­ces­sor deli­vers fast respon­si­ve­ness and per­for­mance at a gre­at pri­ce for gam­ing, VR and other com­pu­ting needs.”

HP is focu­sed on deli­ve­ring bold inno­va­ti­on in the gam­ing space, inclu­ding vir­tu­al rea­li­ty and eSports, with a port­fo­lio that offers extre­me per­for­mance and the best pos­si­ble expe­ri­ence for all gamers,” said Kevin Frost, vice pre­si­dent and gene­ral mana­ger of con­su­mer per­so­nal sys­tems, HP Inc. “AMD’s recent launch of Ryzen™ pro­ces­sors has gene­ra­ted gre­at exci­te­ment in the mar­ket and we belie­ve the­re is a set of cus­to­mers who will bene­fit from devices powered by Ryzen™.”

Desk­top PCs are no lon­ger just for work – con­su­mers use them for wat­ching their favo­ri­te movie on Net­flix, editing their digi­tal pho­to coll­ec­tion and even gam­ing. They expect top per­for­mance and a smooth expe­ri­ence,” said Tony Chen, exe­cu­ti­ve direc­tor of Lenovo’s Con­su­mer PC Pro­duct and Port­fo­lio Manage­ment. “Our Leno­vo Ide­a­Cent­re desk­tops with the latest AMD Ryzen pro­ces­sor give users out­stan­ding mul­ti­tas­king capa­bi­li­ties, along­side the high per­for­mance they need for next-gen per­so­na­li­zed com­pu­ting expe­ri­en­ces, such as VR and high-qua­li­ty streaming.” 

Ryzen Thre­ad­rip­per

AMD’s revi­ta­liza­ti­on of ultra-pre­mi­um PCs for the high-end desk­top (HEDT) mar­ket was recent­ly cemen­ted with the announce­ment of Ryzen™ Thre­ad­rip­per™, tar­ge­ted at the world’s fas­test ultra-pre­mi­um desk­top sys­tems, and sche­du­led for release in sum­mer 2017. At Com­putex 2017, AMD deli­ver­ed seve­ral Ryzen Thre­ad­rip­per and Rade­on “Vega” demons­tra­ti­ons, inclu­ding Ryzen Thre­ad­rip­per and dual Rade­on “Vega” based-GPUs seam­less­ly run­ning Bethesda’s new Prey® title at 4K reso­lu­ti­on. In addi­ti­on, AMD announ­ced cut­ting-edge high-per­for­mance mother­board designs from ASRock, Asus, Giga­byte and MSI, built upon the X399 chip­set. The X399 chip­set mother­boards for the new socketTR4 plat­form are desi­gned for the hig­hest tier of PC enthu­si­ast socie­ty, who demand cut­ting-edge fea­tures such as 16 core/32 thread pro­ces­sors, quad chan­nel memo­ry with sup­port up to 2TB of RAM (1), supe­ri­or IO, and who choo­se the ulti­ma­te pro­ces­sor and mother­boards as an exten­si­on of their per­so­nal brand.

The recep­ti­on and respon­se from both con­su­mers and enthu­si­asts for Ryzen has been remar­kab­le, and we’re just get­ting star­ted as we roll out a full line-up of Ryzen pro­ces­sors that deli­ver excep­tio­nal per­for­mance for pre­mi­um and high-per­for­mance desk­tops and note­books,” said Jim Ander­son, seni­or vice pre­si­dent and gene­ral mana­ger, AMD Com­pu­te and Gra­phics busi­ness group. “Addi­tio­nal­ly, the eco­sys­tem enthu­si­asm is evi­dent as we start to see the first wave of Ryzen-based sys­tems from top OEMs join the hundreds of mother­boards and sys­tem inte­gra­tor sys­tems alre­a­dy in-mar­ket. It’s clear that the indus­try and con­su­mers were hun­gry for the inno­va­ti­on Ryzen has brought back to the PC market.”

Ryzen Mobi­le

AMD also demons­tra­ted publicly for the first time a Ryzen mobi­le APU in an ultra­por­ta­ble refe­rence design, brin­ging 4 cores, 8‑threads and “Vega” archi­tec­tu­re-based gra­phics into a sub-15mm thic­k­ness note­book design. The demo fea­tured the Ryzen mobi­le-powered note­book play­ing HD video content.

Cau­tio­na­ry State­ment  

This press release con­ta­ins for­ward-loo­king state­ments con­cer­ning Advan­ced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD) inclu­ding the fea­tures, func­tion­a­li­ty, avai­la­bi­li­ty, timing, expec­ted OEM and chan­nel part­ner sup­port, and expec­ted bene­fits of AMD future pro­ducts, inclu­ding AMD’s EPYC, Ryzen, Ryzen Thre­ad­rip­per, and Rade­on “Vega”, and the con­tin­ued momen­tum of recent­ly laun­ched AMD pro­ducts, which are made pur­su­ant to the Safe Har­bor pro­vi­si­ons of the Pri­va­te Secu­ri­ties Liti­ga­ti­on Reform Act of 1995. For­ward-loo­king state­ments are com­mon­ly iden­ti­fied by words such as “would,” “intends,” “belie­ves,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “intends,” “plans,” “pro for­ma,” “esti­ma­tes,” “anti­ci­pa­tes,” or the nega­ti­ve of the­se words and phra­ses, other varia­ti­ons of the­se words and phra­ses or com­pa­ra­ble ter­mi­no­lo­gy. Inves­tors are cau­tio­ned that the for­ward-loo­king state­ments in this docu­ment are based on cur­rent beliefs, assump­ti­ons and expec­ta­ti­ons, speak only as of the date of this docu­ment and invol­ve risks and uncer­tain­ties that could cau­se actu­al results to dif­fer mate­ri­al­ly from cur­rent expec­ta­ti­ons. Such state­ments are sub­ject to cer­tain known and unknown risks and uncer­tain­ties, many of which are dif­fi­cult to pre­dict and gene­ral­ly bey­ond AMD’s con­trol, that could cau­se actu­al results and other future events to dif­fer mate­ri­al­ly from tho­se expres­sed in, or impli­ed or pro­jec­ted by, the for­ward-loo­king infor­ma­ti­on and state­ments. Mate­ri­al fac­tors that could cau­se actu­al results to dif­fer mate­ri­al­ly from cur­rent expec­ta­ti­ons include, wit­hout limi­ta­ti­on, the fol­lo­wing: Intel Corporation’s domi­nan­ce of the micro­pro­ces­sor mar­ket and its aggres­si­ve busi­ness prac­ti­ces may limit AMD’s abili­ty to com­pe­te effec­tively; AMD has a wafer sup­p­ly agree­ment with GF with obli­ga­ti­ons to purcha­se all of its micro­pro­ces­sor and APU pro­duct requi­re­ments, and a cer­tain por­ti­on of its GPU pro­duct requi­re­ments, from GLOBALFOUNDRIES Inc. (GF) with limi­t­ed excep­ti­ons. If GF is not able to satis­fy AMD’s manu­fac­tu­ring requi­re­ments, its busi­ness could be adver­se­ly impac­ted; AMD reli­es on third par­ties to manu­fac­tu­re its pro­ducts, and if they are unable to do so on a time­ly basis in suf­fi­ci­ent quan­ti­ties and using com­pe­ti­ti­ve tech­no­lo­gies, AMD’s busi­ness could be mate­ri­al­ly adver­se­ly affec­ted; fail­ure to achie­ve expec­ted manu­fac­tu­ring yields for AMD’s pro­ducts could nega­tively impact its finan­cial results; the suc­cess of AMD’s busi­ness is depen­dent upon its abili­ty to intro­du­ce pro­ducts on a time­ly basis with fea­tures and per­for­mance levels that pro­vi­de value to its cus­to­mers while sup­port­ing and coin­ci­ding with signi­fi­cant indus­try tran­si­ti­ons; if AMD can­not gene­ra­te suf­fi­ci­ent reve­nue and ope­ra­ting cash flow or obtain exter­nal finan­cing, it may face a cash short­fall and be unable to make all of its plan­ned invest­ments in rese­arch and deve­lo­p­ment or other stra­te­gic invest­ments; the loss of a signi­fi­cant cus­to­mer may have a mate­ri­al adver­se effect on AMD; AMD’s receipt of reve­nue from its semi-cus­tom SoC pro­ducts is depen­dent upon its tech­no­lo­gy being desi­gned into third-par­ty pro­ducts and the suc­cess of tho­se pro­ducts; glo­bal eco­no­mic uncer­tain­ty may adver­se­ly impact AMD’s busi­ness and ope­ra­ting results; the mar­kets in which AMD’s pro­ducts are sold are high­ly com­pe­ti­ti­ve; AMD may not be able to gene­ra­te suf­fi­ci­ent cash to ser­vice its debt obli­ga­ti­ons or meet its working capi­tal requi­re­ments; AMD has a lar­ge amount of indeb­ted­ness which could adver­se­ly affect its finan­cial posi­ti­on and pre­vent it from imple­men­ting its stra­tegy or ful­fil­ling its con­trac­tu­al obli­ga­ti­ons; the agree­ments gover­ning AMD’s notes and the Secu­red Revol­ving Line of Cre­dit impo­se rest­ric­tions on AMD that may adver­se­ly affect its abili­ty to ope­ra­te its busi­ness; AMD’s issu­an­ce to West Coast Hitech L.P. (WCH) of war­rants to purcha­se 75 mil­li­on shares of its com­mon stock, if and when exer­cis­ed, will dilute the owner­ship inte­rests of its exis­ting stock­hol­ders, and the con­ver­si­on of the 2.125% Con­ver­ti­ble Seni­or Notes due 2026 may dilute the owner­ship inte­rest of its exis­ting stock­hol­ders, or may other­wi­se depress the pri­ce of its com­mon stock; uncer­tain­ties invol­ving the orde­ring and ship­ment of AMD’s pro­ducts could mate­ri­al­ly adver­se­ly affect it; the demand for AMD’s pro­ducts depends in part on the mar­ket con­di­ti­ons in the indus­tries into which they are sold. Fluc­tua­tions in demand for AMD’s pro­ducts or a mar­ket decli­ne in any of the­se indus­tries could have a mate­ri­al adver­se effect on its results of ope­ra­ti­ons; AMD’s abili­ty to design and intro­du­ce new pro­ducts in a time­ly man­ner is depen­dent upon third-par­ty intellec­tu­al pro­per­ty; AMD depends on third-par­ty com­pa­nies for the design, manu­fac­tu­re and sup­p­ly of mother­boards, soft­ware and other com­pu­ter plat­form com­pon­ents to sup­port its busi­ness; if AMD loses Micro­soft Corporation’s sup­port for its pro­ducts or other soft­ware ven­dors do not design and deve­lop soft­ware to run on AMD’s pro­ducts, its abili­ty to sell its pro­ducts could be mate­ri­al­ly adver­se­ly affec­ted; and AMD’s reli­ance on third-par­ty dis­tri­bu­tors and AIB part­ners sub­jects it to cer­tain risks.  Inves­tors are urged to review in detail the risks and uncer­tain­ties in AMD’s Secu­ri­ties and Exch­an­ge Com­mis­si­on filings, inclu­ding but not limi­t­ed to AMD’s Quar­ter­ly Report on Form 10‑Q for the quar­ter ended April 1, 2017.
